Otto Warmbier was held in North Korea for 17 months in prison. When Otto Warmbier was flown home from North Korea last Tuesday, three other US citizens remained behind. The state department’s special envoy on North Korea, Joseph Yun, met with the three detainees while he was negotiating Warmbier’s release, and said he would like to see them freed as well, according to a state department spokesperson.
Donald Trump has attacked the "brutality of the North Korean regime" following the death of American student Otto Warmbier - who had been imprisoned in the country for 17 months. The US President has offered the family of Mr Warmbier his respects after news broke that the young man had died after being transported back to the United States from North Korea. “Melania and I offer our deepest condolences to the family of Otto Warmbier on his untimely passing,” Mr Trump said in a statement.
